Everest Home Edition vs. Sisoft Sandra Lite

[Comraddict]

What is your preferred system information, diagnostics and benchmarking FREE (yeah!) software?

Both these programs have their advantages and they are both free. Although there is full version of Sandra that is not free.

Well the word free just got my attention.

 

[Comraddict]

Both are great freeware. Worth trying for sure.

everest is my choice. The interface is so less complicated plus I don't have to figure out which features I can use and which I can't.

I've only ever used Everest, but I have to say it's really simple to use. I'm not much of a computer nerd, although I want to be really bad, and I had no trouble using it to uncover the mysteries of my computer parts.

Damn. My brother was asking me to upgrade the meory on this computer and Everest just told me what type of memory this machine has!

I use Sandra. Downloaded it to sort out my video card problem.

What is your preferred system information, diagnostics and benchmarking FREE (yeah!) software?

Well, for benchmarking (sort of), I use PiFast. Ok, it isn't exactly a benchmarking program, but I can calculate 1 billion digits of Pi in 28 hours (and that's running it through Wine in Linux)! I love my computer.

The radioactive monkey always wins.

You have got to be kidding me. How the hell is it winning?!?!?
